As after a break-up with a person I am purging my house of reminders of school (course materials are being shut-up in my filing cabinet, course-related books re-shelved) and thinking of all the lovely things I can do now that I’m free. For instance, I can read for pleasure. I am finishing up my Graffiti book and moving to The Materials and Techniques of Medieval Painting, Society of the Spectacle, Silence, and Empire.
